If it does not turn...The compressor is internally locked. The entire system will need to be flushed, New Compressor, Accumulator, Orifice tube & the rear unit will need to come out to replace the Expansion valve.

Let me know & I will help with oil volumes & procedures.
It is fully locked up, nothing is turning. I ordered the kit and have all the above, arrived yesterday. I hope to tackle this Saturday and get it done.
